I am cannon fodder, but I can hug thighs

Yan Fang happened to be the kind of person who didn't eat eels. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

Lin Jin turned to talk about other things: "When the seedlings grow to seven or eight inches high, you can irrigate the fields and put the Hehua black carp fry in. But don't be greedy. Only put thirty per acre of land, otherwise it will affect the growth of the seedlings."

The ducklings will be released in April, and the rice-fish-duck symbiotic system will be initially formed.

Yan Fang understood what Lin Jin meant: "Miss, are you planning to leave?"

"This is another matter I was going to discuss with you, sir. After I put the fish fry in, I will have to set off for Beijing in a few days. You will have to take care of this field in the future." Lin Jin felt a little embarrassed, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

"These are all small matters, don't worry, young lady. But it's not safe for you to go back to Beijing alone as the journey is long." Their area was thousands of miles away from the capital, and no one knew what kind of accidents they would encounter on the way.

Even if you hire a carriage, it is still unsafe to travel alone.

Lin Jin had also considered these things, but there were some things that he had to do after he returned: "Thank you for your concern, but I have my own plans."

Seeing her like this, Yan Fang said nothing more. After all, since she was protected by the female general, she must be no ordinary person. Maybe Lin Jin was just a pseudonym.

"Why do I feel like there's some happy event in the village these days?" Lin Jin felt that the smoke from cooking fires in the village had become heavier these days, and it seemed that many people had returned, creating an atmosphere similar to that of a major festival.

Yan Fang stroked his beard proudly and said, "It is indeed a happy event. This year, the village has produced a top scholar!"

The results of the Spring Examination had already been announced a long time ago, but the journey here was too long, so the information was only sent back in the past few days. All of a sudden, everyone who had been away returned to their hometowns just to share in the good news.

"That is indeed a great joy." Lin Jin smiled. She almost forgot that the imperial examination was held every three years, and this year happened to be the spring examination.

The year after the men's imperial examination is the women's imperial examination, which is also held every three years. Thinking of this, Yan Fang suddenly looked at Lin Jin and asked, "Miss, are you going to participate in this year's autumn examination?"

Lin Jin: “…”

Thanks for the invitation, but it’s not necessary. She still remembers Song Shiqiu’s evaluation of her during her monthly exam.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about it later. We haven't finished talking about the rice fields yet. Let's talk about business first." Lin Jin quickly changed the subject and took Yan Fang to the end of the canal and started talking about the canal again.

She also did not forget to ask Yan Fang to take care of the pumpkins and other things planted in her yard, for fear that her lack of clear instructions would delay the planting of the potatoes like last time.

After talking for a while, the sun was about to set. Lin Jin handed the written paper to Yan Fang and said, "I have said almost everything I need to say. I will trouble you again in the future."

She can only be a tree planter, but it is up to them to actually grow the trees.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Jin fished the bamboo out of the canal and dragged it back to make eel soup in the evening. When she heard the sound of horse hooves, she guessed it was Liu Zhengqing. After all, there were only a handful of people who rode horses in this place.

"Why are you here? I told you there's nothing to do this afternoon." Lin Jin had a hard time holding the bamboo. After all, there was a lot of water in it besides the eels.

Liu Zhengqing looked anxious: "Ajin, I have to rush back to the capital today and I won't be able to take care of you. You must be careful."

"What happened?" Lin Jin was stunned.

Liu Zhengqing jumped off his horse, and seeing that no one noticed them, he whispered to Lin Jin about what happened in the capital: "A letter came from the capital, saying that someone reported that the King of Jin was planning to raise private soldiers, manufacture weapons, and rebel. Song Shiqiu asked me to return quickly."

Even if Bai He was very fast, it would take two or three days for him to get here. If this was true, I'm afraid the evidence would have been found.

"Ah? Ah?" Lin Jin felt that this sounded a bit strange, "Then you should go back quickly and don't stay here."

Rebellion? The male protagonist? He is rebelling now?

Even if the rebellion succeeds, it is not legitimate. What are the male and female protagonists thinking? This is impossible.

"Although this place is still far from the capital, there are always unexpected things. If you find something wrong, run away immediately. I left a horse for you, so don't hesitate." Liu Zhengqing was afraid that Lin Jin would be confused at the critical moment, and then he would have to share the hardships with this village.

"I know, I know. There might be a misunderstanding. It may not be true." Lin Jin found Liu Zhengqing's worry a little funny. It was so far away, how could anything happen?

"This news was spread by people around Prince Jin, and it is most likely correct. You'd better be careful." After Liu Zhengqing gave Lin Jin instructions, he rode away in a hurry. It seemed that the situation in the capital was really not right.

Lin Jin stood on the roadside holding a bamboo, unable to understand why the hero would rebel so blatantly. Could it be that the heroine didn't try to stop him?

But there was no point in thinking about it, Lin Jin could only pray in her heart that they were safe.

After she carried the bamboo back, she found a wooden barrel and poured out all the eels in the bamboo tube. Looking at the eels that were crooked and somewhat similar to snakes, Lin Jin still felt a little scared.

Lin Jin soaked the eels in clean water to let them spit out the sand first, and then watered the vegetables in the yard. Only then did she observe the horse left behind by Liu Zhengqing.

"You are so beautiful." Lin Jin stroked the horse's mane and praised the sturdy red horse with curved eyebrows. "Do you have a name? I forgot that you can't speak."

She patted her head, and after realizing what stupid thing she had said, she chuckled. She took out the alfalfa that she had gotten for Taxue today and fed it to the red horse. Seeing the red horse eating the grass meekly, Lin Jin felt a little excited.

This was the first horse that truly belonged to her.

"Let me think about what name I should give you." Lin Jin thought, but saw that the red horse stopped eating grass when he heard her words and looked at her without blinking. "You are really smart. You can actually understand what I say."

Lin Jin liked the horse even more, and stroked its mane again and again: "Then you should take my last name, and be called... Qiongyu. I heard that Qiongyu means red jade. You are so beautiful, so you should be called Qiongyu, Lin Qiongyu."

Qiong Yu's nose made a purring sound, and then she rubbed Lin Jin's palm with her head, as if she understood.

"You are so good, Qiongyu." Lin Jin hugged Qiongyu and fed it with fodder, "Eat more."

After feeding Qiong Yu, Lin Jin started reading the book on saline-alkali land improvement that she had borrowed from the system.

[Host, what are you worried about?] The system looked at Lin Jin's furrowed brows.

"I'm wondering where to get the water for improving the saline-alkali land." Water resources are not very abundant in places where saline-alkali land can be formed. If so much water resources are used to improve the saline-alkali land, what will people do when they are short of water?

Is it really true that we can only exploit groundwater?

[The host can use the system's water resources.] The system reminded Lin Jin not to forget that he now has a golden finger. [Water is also a must in the farming system.]

Lin Jin's eyes lit up. She had never thought that this was possible: "Is this possible?"

[Okay, that’s it…]

"Don't say anymore. I understand. I understand everything. It's just plowing the land by yourself. The first time is new, the second time is familiar." Lin Jin took over the conversation very consciously. She felt that as long as the water problem was solved, it would not be a big deal.

"Sister Lin Jin." A crisp call came from outside the fence.

Lin Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw the little girl from her aunt's family. She quickly stood up and walked out: "It's you, how did you get here? I don't even know your name."

"My name is Jin'er. My grandmother said it means "Jin" which means fine clothes and delicious food." Jin'er said her name as if she was a little shy.
